Zink Marketing, an Ohio-based manufacturers' rep firm, will become the representatives for Manitowoc Foodservice in Illinois and Wisconsin effective Dec. 1, 2013.

In recent years, Zink began developing a presence in the region when it opened an office for its smallwares and tabletop division, which goes to market as Top O' The Table. Zink Marketing and Top O' Table are expected to work in parallel.

Zink, which represents Manitowoc in other markets, takes over the territory for Mirkovich & Associates, a Lombard, Ill.-based rep firm.
